    Sold months later. Call me cynical but that's the first thought that went through my head. But, as I said, we'll at least be able to command a decent transfer fee for him.

    Unlikely at the moment

    If Solly takes us to the dizzy heights Parker took us to then he can leave with my blessing.
  • Great news!!!

    About four and a half years IIRC.

    For many years now, the club invariably announces most contract extensions in September.
    You've only got to look at past seasons - Solly himself, Kermorgant, Jacko, Waggy, etc

    I pointed out this earlier in the summer, at the time when many posters were beside themselves with anxiety.
    I don't suppose anybody bothers to read my posts.

    Can't blame them.

    ;o)

    Oh my god, new contracts signed just after the window closed. If only someone had predicted that was going to happen.
    Those damn board members dragging our club down.

    "Rotten to the core" apparently.

    Well done the board. Well done CP. Well done Solly. Well done Charlton.

  • This is the most significant thing that we have done for a long time. Totally throws the cat amongst the pigeons in terms of what state we think the club is in? He wouldnt have signed it full stop if there was any indication of a horror story in progress.

    The extension of the two-time player of the year and academy graduate comes just two days after the Addicks also agreed terms with homegrown forward Joe Pigott until 2016.
    4/9
    Charlton’s academy product Joe Pigott spoke of his joy after signing a new three-year deal with the club on Tuesday

    But I bow to your superior knowledge over the OS.
  • Excellent news. We either keep or at least get a decent fee for one of our best players and an anomaly in the pay structure is eliminated. And a happy player is more likely to be an effective player

    I'm smiling at all the "told you there was nothing wrong, told you so, everything is great" posts though. We shall see. The serious concerns about long term funding and commitment to the club from TJ and MS remain in my mind. The August Sky TV money has been well spent for sure. Let's wait and see how the whole season pans out.
